Corrections and clarifications

A news report was wrong to say that Trevor Phillips had confirmed that he would like to stand against Boris Johnson in the next London mayoral contest. In fact, in an interview published the same day, he said in response to an initial question about standing in any election again: "Not really. I do have a pretty great job. Why would I want to do anything else?" When pressed about standing in a future mayoral contest he said: "A return to politics ... Of course, yes, it would be disingenuous and pathetic, and the kind of thing politicians say, if I were to pretend it's not an option. All I would say is: it's not an automatic option." Phillips heads the Equality and Human Rights Commission, not the Commission for Equalities and Civil Rights, as we had it (Limit MPs to four terms, says equalities chief, 23 February, page 17).

A headline, Burnham blasts police after BNP cancels rally (23 February, page 5, Sport), did not accurately reflect the accompanying article. We reported that Andy Burnham, the culture, media and sport secretary, planned to write to senior police officers about the rescheduling of an Everton match because it clashed with a planned BNP rally. However, he did not criticise Merseyside police, who he believes were put in an impossible situation by the BNP.
